The ESG Committee, under the responsibility of the Board of Directors, assists and supports the Board of Directors with its oversight of, amongst others: (i) drawing up the selection criteria and appointment procedures for directors of the Company; (ii) periodic assessment of the size and composition of the Board of Directors and as appropriate making proposals for a composition profile of the Board of Directors; periodic assessment of the performance of individual directors and reporting on this to the Board of Directors; and (iv) proposals for the Board of Directors for the nomination and re-nomination of directors to be elected by the shareholders. The Committee oversees and gives guidance to the Company's Board of Directors on key global sustainability topics and/or as to the general evolution of the sustainability landscape. It does this in relation to the Company itself and also advises the Company representatives on how they can use their roles in the governance of the businesses partially or wholly owned by the Company to champion further progress within those businesses on ESG Matters. [...] The tasks and functions of the ESG Committee are further described in the ESG Committee Charter, which was approved during the Board meeting held on 22 November 2023. The Charter is published on the Exor website (www.exor.com/pages/exor/governance/corporate-regulations)." [...] "Currently, the ESG Committee is chaired by Exor's Chairman, Nitin Nohria, and includes Board members Melissa Bethell and Laurence Debroux. The ESG Committee meets twice a year but has the flexibility to schedule additional meetings when necessary (for instance, in 2024, extra meetings were held regarding the double materiality analysis and the first Sustainability Statement). After each meeting, the ESG Committee updates the Board of Directors on the topics discussed. Meetings can also be held remotely and are considered valid with most members present. Minutes are recorded and confirmed by the Chair and the secretary. In addition to the ESG Committee, other figures and bodies contribute to the oversight of sustainability issues: – The Audit Committee reviews and assesses, on an annual basis, the risks and internal controls. – The Compensation Committee reviews Board remuneration, which may also include sustainability considerations." [...] "Exor encourages its investee companies to set reduction targets for Scope 1 and 2 emissions and measure Scope 3 emissions by sharing best practices as well as supporting and challenging their respective sustainability strategies via its board representation. Investee companies like Philips and Iveco Group have publicly committed to Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) goals, reinforcing their dedication to emissions reduction and net-zero ambitions. Exor also encourages all of its public investee companies to have robust sustainability governance, adhere to international guidelines, and implement risk evaluation systems to address climate risks. Notable efforts include CNH Industrial and Ferrari's leadership in sustainable practices, Stellantis' expansion in electric vehicles (EVs), and Iveco Group's focus on low-carbon solutions. Exor continues to champion climate action across its portfolio, driving a collective transition towards a sustainable future.
